If you deem it wise to act upon
these suggestion, your delegation
in Congress will use their best
endeavors to comply with your
wishes.
THE MINT.
AS part of the war on silver
the Administration has suspend
ed coinage at our Mint. The
discontinued of fits use as a
Mint, or even an assay office, is
undoubtedly contemplated by
the Treasury Department. This
should be resisted by all
honorable means. The Mint has
been successfully operated for
many years with great advantage
TO our people, and without cost
to the Government. A respectful
memorial to Congress by this
Legislature setting forth the
reasons why our Mint should not
be destroyed might have some
influence. At all events, we
should not give up the contest, but
unite in vigorous effort to
preserve this National institution
in our midst. Without being fully
informed of the opposition with
which we must contend, /
believe united effort on the
part of the people of the State with
their delegation in Congress will
cause the Mint to be reopened :
and continued in operation.
RAILROADS.
Railroads are an important
factor in the business of all coDnt
ries. Before their invention the
great mass of civilized men were
forced to reside along the banks
of large rivers, in proximity to
the ocean, or other navigab
waters. Railroads have become
a substitute for navigable waters
where none existed, and have
populated vast territories which
would otherwise have been unin-
hsbitable. They are essential
to the prosperity of Nevada.
What Nevada needs is not the
destruction of existing railroads
but the building of more. The
interests of railroads and the in
terests of the people should be
identical. If the people prosper
they will furnish business for the
railroads, and they will also
prosper. A war between the
railroads and the people in any
State is a calamity. elimination
and recrimination produces bad
blood. If either the railroads or
the people become unreasonable
the other party will retaliate and
the prosperity of the country will
become paralyZed. / belive that
What is good for the people is
good for the railroads, and it shall
be my endeavor to study the
wants and interests of Nevada,
and deal with every question re-
lating to railroads upon which i
shall be called to act with an eye
single to the best interests of my
constituents. i shall conceal
none of my acts on this important
subject from the public, but on
all occasions shall assign my rea-
sons for the course shall pursue,
and you shall be my judges.
Task my constituents to deal
fairly with me and eriticise my
course honestly and impartially.
1t will be great service to me To
be fully informed at all times of
the opinions, desires, and wants
of my constituents. / am aware
of the many difficulties that must
be overcome in advancing the
interests of Nevada so as to place
her in the proud position which
she should occupy among the
States of the Union. In assum-
ing the responsibility of the high
office you have conferred upon
me again call on you for assist
ance and advice, and can only
promise you that | will serve you
to the best of my ability.
Without further remarks, /
again thank you for this mani
festation of your confidence in
me in electing me to the United
States Senate.
